Machinery, left abandoned because the site is no longer viable, rust, decay, disintegration. Forgotten sites where sharp edges are worn and blunt, screw threads corroded and locked, points dulled with neglect, blades bent chipped or broken with use, where gears no longer turn and are now idle, decaying. Sites where the last Moa fell, beaten to death, where stone scraped flesh from bone, where fires lie as black ash pits, where cold steel cut the warm flesh of seal and whale, where giants of the forest crashed to the ground at the last thrust of an axe blade, where saws sliced each log into even planks, where whole hills of alluvial soils lie levelled in the search of gold, where the blades of technology cut deep into the earth, where concrete encases all that falls into its thick liquid state. Rust and corrosion, patinas of time still in the process of transfiguration. Fragile marks of evidence, a language towards an object's decay, an object's past use. Implements lost with the age of usage.
